Conduct OCM Risk Mitigation and Action Planning Workshops

Use

The purpose of this task is to develop the risk mitigation strategy, action plan and accountability that will address the implementation risks defined by the risk assessment.

It is recommended to invite many of the project participants as well as other interested parties, especially those who are likely to be responsible for action plans.

The accelerator Risk Workshop Action Planning and Implementation Guidelines may be used to facilitate planning, prioritization, and tracking both during and after the workshop.

A list of typical Organizational Change Management (OCM) risks and recommended activities is provided as accelerators in Risk Workshop Objectives and Facilitation Guidelines.

Procedure

  1. Review the risk assessment process with workshop participants.
  2. Review the risk assessment results.
  3. Define project implications of the implementation risks. Confirm the impact as well as consequence if the risk is not addressed.
  4. Brainstorm/develop strategies and action plans for each risk.
  5. Decide on how the successful mitigation of the risk can be measured.
  6. Assign tasks and responsibilities if possible.
